Put Hong Kong’s Temple Street
Night Market on your wish list
because it’s a magical mix of
traders, talent and fortune tellers.
Weave your way from vendors to
opera singers, and endless festivity.
For an eclectic mix of east meets
west, Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di Street
is a pedestrianised area replete
with galleries, cafés, boutiques and
restaurants. With original 1920s
facades, traditional China meets the
modern day, and because western
influence is rife, expect to find
big US chain stores amidst a niche
choice of Chinese designers.
If you can handle the crowds,
Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s main
shopping street. More than just a
shopping district, there are parks,
People’s Square, museums, art
galleries and opera houses. At 6
kilometres long, Nanjing Road is
also the world’s longest shopping
street - credit cards at the ready.
Nothing in Hong Kong is done by
halves, which is why the super kid-
friendly Ocean Park is not solely an
amusement park, but also a marine
mammal enclosure, oceanarium
and animal park. Boasting over 80
attractions, there are interactive
areas showcasing everything from
the North Pole to historic Hong
Kong. An impressive blend of
entertainment and education.
Hong Kong Zoo opened in 1871 and
includes the city’s lush botanical
gardens, located on the Northern
slope of Victoria Peak. Admire an
inner-city sanctuary framed by
skyscrapers and then head to the
playground and aviaries.
As with Disneylands everywhere,
kids and adults love them! Indulge
in a whimsical holiday when you
venture to Hong Kong Disneyland
or Shanghai Disneyland, or make
your mark at both… a Disney
extravaganza!

6 TIPSfor your
Hong Kong &
China Holiday
Glazed and syrup-coated, then hung
dry and roasted, Chinese cuisine
will have you salivating at the mere
thought of it, but none more so than
traditional Peking duck. Attracting
an almost cult-following, it’s best
enjoyed in Beijing - with lashings of
sweet bean sauce.
With a little nod to its British past,
Hong Kong delivers one of the best
high teas in Asia at the renowned
Peninsula Hotel. Served daily in
The Lobby, the food’s refined, the
service faultless and the cream,
well it’s Devonshire and clotted of
course.
Don’t leave China, mainland or
otherwise, without eating your own
weight in dumplings. Be sure to try
Xiaolongbao in the Jiangnan region
(and Shanghai especially) which
are unbeatable. Steamed in small
bamboo baskets they’re lightly
‘soup-filled’, so you get a good dose
of meat as well as jus.
7. 3
Suzhou, a city west of Shanghai, is
best known for its canals, bridges
and seductive waterways. Dubbed
the ‘Venice of China’, it’s defined by
ornate gardens and Asian pagodas.
Soak up The Grand Canal and stop
for a fragrant tea beside the slow,
sedate water.
In Shanghai, the Huangpu River
divides the city into two parts: Puxi
to Pudong. You can get from one
to the other via Shanghai’s century
old ferry boats. The sweeping
skyline views are breath-taking,
and with over 40 ferry terminals
fronting both sides of the river, it’s
convenient too.
Hong Kong’s Star Ferry is famous
for shuttling passengers between
Hong Kong Island and Kowloon
for a super low fare. In operation
since 1898, the prices have barely
changed since. Come nightfall,
board the Star Ferry for knockout
views of Victoria Harbour.
Hutongs are a type of alleyway
typical to northern China, and
particularly Beijing. They’re also the
best way to experience ‘Old Beijing’
at its traditional best. A relic that
time forgot, get lost in a China built
centuries past, amongst crooked
old houses and children chasing
rickshaws down the street.
From traditional Asia to a street
influenced by a very western
concept: Las Vegas, Macau’s Cotai
Strip boasts multiple hotel-casinos
all lining the Cotai section of Macau.
As glitzy as its US cousin, the lights
never go out here.
And then there’s Hong Kong come
nightfall. If you consider this city
busy by day, it really revs it up a
gear from dusk. There’s a distinct
‘work-hard, play-hard’ ethic here,
and tourists are fully encouraged
to partake. Dine, dance or simply
enjoy the raucous ambience, but
sleep is not an option.
Is there any better backdrop than
Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl and the
World Financial Centre? Especially
at night when the entire Lujiazui
skyline sparkles like an enormous
fairground. Make a beeline for the
Bund’s Bar Rouge, with its large
terrace overlooking the best of
it, while the dazzling views from
Hyatt’s VUE bar are only matched
by an equally stunning décor.
In Hong Kong you’ll want to enjoy
incredible 360-degree views of
Victoria Harbour from the 100th
floor of Hong Kong’s tallest building
- the International Commerce
Centre (ICC).
While in Shanghai, Jin Mau’s Cloud
9 Bar, part of the Grand Hyatt
Shanghai, is located on the 87th
floor and is one of the highest bars
in the world. Watch as the clouds
pass before your eyes, and drinks.
View from the top Explore the
waterways

8. 4
Hong Kong is literally a living fusion of traditional Eastern and Western cultures.
It’s fast paced with a dazzling array of high rise buildings, neon lights and billboards.
Split into two by the harbour, Hong Kong has two main regions – Kowloon and Hong
Kong Island.
For such a compact island, Hong Kong Island carries plenty of punch as a holiday
destination. With the many shopping options, restaurants and bars around the
Central district and a journey to the Peak for a bird’s eye view of the island – and
beyond. Venture to Stanley Markets, marvel over the temples at Aberdeen or dine
on seafood at Repulse Bay.
A tourist hot spot, Kowloon’s famous Nathan Road and its ‘Golden Mile’ are a
magnet for bargain hunting shoppers and diners. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong
Kong’s major entertainment areas, popular both during the day and after dark. Visit
the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum before venturing
to the Peninsula for its world renowned High Tea.
While she feels like a cosmopolitan city, under her contemporary exterior is a
traditional Chinese lady at heart. Peer down from Victoria Peak, wind your way
through the streets of Mongkok, bag a bargain at the markets, and without a doubt
the harbour is the centrepiece, with its dazzling skyline and nightly ‘Symphony of
the Lights’ fireworks and laser light extravaganza.

Records as the world’s largest permanent light and sound
show, there are laser beams and searchlights that perform
an unforgettable light spectacle synchronised to music.
Hullett House – Dine at the prized Loong Toh Yuen
Cantonese restaurant. The highly acclaimed chef scours
the markets for new tastes and ingredients, adding his own
contemporary interpretation to Cantonese cuisine.
Giant Buddha – No trip to Hong Kong would be complete
without a visit to the Giant Buddha which sits serenely atop
Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery
of Lantau Island. Climb more than 200 steps or take the
Ngong Ping 360 cableway from Tung Chung to the culturally
themed village.
Ladies’ Market – Featuring over 100 stalls of bargain
clothing, accessories and souvenirs and stretching one
kilometre. Be sure to practice your haggling skills to bag the
best bargain.
Lan Kwai Fong – One of Hong Kong’s most popular
nightlife hot spots and home to over 90 restaurants and
bars. Hosting carnivals and celebrations throughout the
year, this area comes alive.
Harbour Cruise – Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong’s heart,
so to catch the real essence jump onboard a harbour cruise.
From a hop on hop off tour, to sunset cruises, experience

After being a world power centuries ago then closing their doors to outside
influences, China has opened itself up again and is taking its place preening on the
world stage.
Diverse, exotic and mysterious, China is the world’s most populous country with a
rich culture stretching back at least 4000 years. China is as unique as it is eclectic,
from the hustle and bustle of huge cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, to the quiet
introspection of the monasteries and temples. Even the cuisine varies dramatically
from one province to another.
While cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are certainly must-see destinations, you
can only truly appreciate this huge nation if you explore the countryside and see
the contrasts it has to offer.
The once imperial capital of 11 dynasties, Xian, is a haven of archaeological
wonders. It is home to the Terracotta Warriors, the famed life sized tomb guards of
Emperor Qin Si Huang and the only city in China that still has its ancient city wall
surrounding it.
Its resurgence as an economic powerhouse has brought a new freedom and new
opportunity for foreigners to explore this fascinating country. You can return time
and time again and always find something new to fascinate you.

Our favourite things to see and do
The Bund – The famous Shanghai waterfront, regarded as
the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years, is a celebration
of China’s diversity. The most attractive sight on the west
side are the 26 various buildings of different architectural
styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism
and Renaissance. Not what you’d expect in China.
Giant Pandas – How can you resist the beautiful faces
of China’s oldest inhabitants? These cuddly bears are the
national emblem of China and their protection is a top
priority for China. The Chengdu Panda Research Base is
home to 80 pandas and set up to resemble their natural
surroundings of their original home in north Sichuan. You
can even cuddle a baby panda during your visit so don’t
miss this highlight.
The Great Wall of China – Stretching almost 9000
kilometres long from the Gobi Desert in the west to the
Bohai Sea in the east, this spectacular wall is one of China’s
most famous attractions. Original construction began more
than 2000 years ago to protect China from the nomad threat
in the north, since then the Great Wall has been rebuilt and
maintained and the majority of the existing wall is from the
Ming Dynasty. The Wall is accessible from many different
sections. Head to the Mutianyu or Juyongguan sections
instead of Badaling as they are far less crowded. All three
sections are in close proximity to Beijing.
Li River – Connecting the two beautifully picturesque
spots of Guilin and Yangshuo and lined with tranquil blue
waters, natural landscapes and views to die for. Highlights
along the river include Elephant Trunk Mountain, a hill
that resembles an elephant drinking water from the river
and Seven Star Park, covering more than 120 hectares and
featuring seven peaks.
